Question

what impact did the english bill of rights have on the government of great britain?
a) it gave parliament more power than the king.
b) it gave equal rights to all citizens in great britain.
c) it made great britain a representative democracy.
d) it established the principle of limited government.

Explanation:

The English Bill of Rights in 1689 limited the power of the monarchy and enhanced the power of Parliament. It established that the king or queen must act with the consent of Parliament, thus giving Parliament more power than the king. It did not give equal rights to all citizens as there were still property - owning requirements for voting, etc. Great Britain was already on a path towards representative democracy before 1689 and the Bill of Rights was more about power - sharing between monarchy and Parliament. While it contributed to limited government, its most immediate and significant impact was the power - shift in favor of Parliament.

Answer:

A. It gave Parliament more power than the king.
